The app for independent voices

The things currently going on that I'd ascribe to what the voting public sees as global/domestic chaos that is not being reigned in:

Global

- Largest land war in Europe since WWII underway for 2 years now in Ukraine

- Israel and Iranian proxies fighting again (Hamas, Lebanese Hezbollah, Houthis)

- Iranian proxies firing missiles at container ships forcing maritime traffic to more-costly alternative routes (Houthis)

- Iranian proxies attacking American troops in Iraq, Syria, and now Jordan (Kataib Hezbollah mostly)

- An American president who can't seem to get any of this stuff to stop via military force or diplomacy or economic pressure (Biden)

Domestic

- High cost of living brought on by rent inflation and home value inflation that is persistent due to the lack of housing inventory because we've been underbuilding for a long time--arguably since the '08 GFC

- Homelessness crisis and tent camps full of fentanyl addicts with mental health problems in just about every major metro in the country now

- A broken asylum system that is literally filled to the brim with fraudulent claims and backlogged court cases

- A border security and immigration system that isn't capable of handling the large flow of migrants--both legal and illegal--in an orderly manner

- Ineffectual democrat mayors who don't seem to be able to control these issues in cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, and NYC (among others)

You can agree/disagree with whether or not these things should collectively be called a chaotic environment, I'm just telling you what voters seem to be freaked out about regarding domestic and global problems that don't seem to be going away.
